On This Day: 16th May

Another of my threesome days Before The Lockdown:

in 2014

Sometimes you take a bit of a risk, you have an idea that an actor, a company, a theatre usually do something interesting but you actually know next to nothing about the production in question.
A couple of actors we'd seen before and liked were part of  an improvisational company that was putting on shows that did not just include improvisation but we ticket buyers had no idea what even the basic concept was.
So it was with the Secret Theatre Show 5 - A Series of Increasingly Impossible Acts at the Lyric theatre London. In a room with only a square performance space, no set just a handful of props and a single row of seats around the edge of the room.
To be honest, I don't really recall what happened, what it was about, but that it was fast, energetic, demanding of the actors, funny and, at the end of the evening, thought-provoking. And even if it doesn't stick in the memory for years, that still makes for a good evening's entertainment.

in 2018

The third of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School's Directors' Cuts season at the Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol was Kiss Me. A two-hander telling one of the hidden post-war stories; what happened to families, most especially young women, in the years after WWI

Apparently loosely based on a true story we have a young woman who having lost her husband is  still desperate to start a family and a young entrepreneur eager to help re-populate the country. It sounds weird but these two actors really understood the motivations so that the two characters were not just stereotypes or caricatures but real, living, people. It was beautiful to watch and certainly gave me a renewed respect for what the women of Britain went through back then.
It was also pretty funny and I am forever ever grateful to it for my second favourite Stoke Newington joke:  "What's the strangest place you've had sex?" ... "Stoke Newington". I Thank You! 😂

in 2019

Yes, it is that time of year, so once again we're at the third of the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School's Directors' Cuts season at the Wardrobe. This year it Poison, a stark, compelling and, what felt like, a horrifyingly real insight into the raw grief of losing a child.
Another two-hander, the now long-separated mother and father of the dead child meet to oversee the 
transfer of the coffin to another cemetery. They have dealt, or not dealt with the loss in different ways and now, ten years later, cannot reconcile their differences, or so it seems. But forced together in a soulless ante-chamber they each start to unwrap the layers of 'protection' they had built up so that by the end of this traumatic encounter there appears to be the hope of some sort of closure.

The New Blog

Hi, while my YouTube channel is still quite small (less than 1,000 subscribers, etc.) I can't use the built-in YouTube features to actively engage with you, the lovely folk who watch, comment, and subscribe to my channel. As I am already sort of familiar with Blogger I though I would open up a new space here specifically linked to the YouTube channel but one that allows me to share stuff other than my game videos and can also be somewhere for all of us to exchange thoughts and ideas about the channel or anything else that pops into our minds. So ... if you're not into using Twitter or Instagram to communicate, or find them too limiting, or are strange enough to want to read more of my long-winded thoughts and observations then ... WELCOME! Now, if you're new to my channel or maybe just curious about who the heck I am please check out the links in the title bar which might give you some insight ... or might not. ;) You can use the Subscribe option in the title bar
